Detailed Description

The Zorba Item interface.

This class is the Zorba representation of an Item as defined in the XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM); see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-datamodel/.

Instances of the XDM are a sequence, i.e. an ordered collection of zero or more items. In the Zorba API, a sequence is represented by the ItemSequence class.

The Item class is the union of all XQuery node and atomic types. The class provides functions to access the information of an Item. Note that not all functions are defined on every Item kind. If a function is called on an Item that does not provide the called function, an ZXQP0024_FUNCTION_NOT_IMPLEMENTED_FOR_ITEMTYPE error is raised.

Instances of the Item class are always passed by copy. To check whether a given Item is valid isNull() can be called which returns true if the given Item is not valid and false otherwise. A new atomic Item can be created using the ItemFactory. A new node Item should be created by the result of a query.

Examples:
context.cpp, datamanager.cpp, errors.cpp, external_functions.cpp, serialization.cpp, and simple.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Default constructor.

zorba::Item::Item ( const Item other)

Copy constructor.

zorba::Item::Item ( const store::Item *  item)

Constructor that is used to construct Items in the Zorba engine itself.

This constructor is for internal use only.

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

Free all resources aquired by this Item.

After calling close() on an Item the Item is invalidated, i.e. a subsequent call to isNull() will return true.

Note that calling this function is usually not necessary because close() is implicitly called by the destructor. Calling close() is only necessary if the resources aquired by an Item should be released before the Item goes out of scope, i.e. the destructor is called.

Also note that this function is available for all types of Items.

Get the atomization value of the Item.

The atomization value is the value that is returned by atomization (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#id-atomization). Note that this function is available for all types of Items.

Returns:
Item the atomization value of the Item.
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured.

Get an iterator for the attributes of this (node) Item.

Note that this function is only available for node Items. The file simple.cpp contains some basic examples that demonstrate the use of this function.

Returns:
Iterator over the attributes of this node.
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured, e.g. the Item is not of type node.
Examples:
simple.cpp.
const char* zorba::Item::getBase64BinaryValue ( size_t &  s) const

Returns the value and size of the given base64Binary item.

The value is a string which is base64 encoded if isEncoded() returns true. Otherwise, it is the original unencoded binary data.

If the given item is streamable (i.e. isStreamable() returns true), the stream returned by getStream() should to be used to retrieve the value. Otherwise, the contents of the stream will be materialized in main memory.

Get the bool value of the boolean Item.

Note that this function is only available for Items of type boolean.

Returns:
true if the boolean value is true, false otherwise.
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured, e.g. the Item is not of type boolean.

Get an iterator for the children of this (node) Item.

Note that this function is only available for node Items. The file simple.cpp contains some basic examples that demonstrate the use of this function.

Returns:
Iterator over the children of this node.
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured, e.g. the Item is not of type node.
Examples:
simple.cpp.

Returns the name of the collection this node is stored in.

Returns:
The name of the collection or 0 if the given item is not a node or not stored in a collection.
double zorba::Item::getDoubleValue ( ) const

Get the int value of the Item.

Returns:
Item the int value of the Item.
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured.

Get the effective boolean value of the Item.

The effective boolean value is the result of applying the fn:boolean function on the Item (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-boolean). Note that this function is available for all types of Items.

Returns:
Item the effective boolean value of the Item
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured.
int32_t zorba::Item::getIntValue ( ) const

Get the int value of the Item.

Returns:
Item the int value of the Item.
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured.

Get the value of a QName's local name.

Note that this function is only available for Items of type QName.

Returns:
String the local name of the QName.
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured, e.g. the Item is not a QName.
int64_t zorba::Item::getLongValue ( ) const

Get the long value of the Item.

Returns:
Item the long value of the Item.
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured.

Get the (optional) value of a QName's namespace.

Note that this function is only available for Items of type QName.

Returns:
String the namespace URI of the QName.
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured, e.g. the Item is not a QName.

Get an iterator for the namespace bindings of this (element) Item.

Note that this function is only available for element Items. The file simple.cpp contains some basic examples that demonstrate the use of this function.

Parameters:
aBindingsAn STL list to receive the namespace bindings of this node (each represented as a std::pair<zorba::String,zorba::String> where the first string is the namespace prefix and the second is the namespace URI).
aNsScopingAn instance of NsScoping to declare which bindings to return: those local to the element; those local to all parent elements; or all bindings (the default).
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured, e.g. the Item is not of type element.
Examples:
simple.cpp.
int zorba::Item::getNodeKind ( ) const

Get the type of this (node) Item.

Note that this function is only available for node Items.

Returns:
int the kind of this node (the avaialble kinds can be found in the store::StoreConsts class)
Exceptions:
ZorbaExceptionif an error occured (e.g. the Item is not of type node).
bool zorba::Item::getNodeName ( Item aNodeName) const

Get the name of this (node) Item.

Note that this function is only available for node Items. The file simple.cpp contains some basic examples that demonstrate the use of this function.

Returns:
bool if the name of the node was retrieved successfully
aNodeName the name of the node
